Need parts!

[chopin2015]

Hello! Please help me, if you can.

I need replacement felts for the practice pedal on my yamaha console upright.

I have had it for just 3 months and I have worn through the practice felts between the hammers and the strings.   

 So, there is a bigger problem. Can I get thicker felt? I was also thinking about leaving the base lighter on the felt and the treble the highest thickness of felt, and highs in the middle in terms of thickness-in comparison with the bass and the treble.

Can anyone please point me in the direction where I can order practice felts for the yamaha, as well as any additional resources you could share? Thank you so much! Please forgive me for the strange use of english.

The link at the bottom of the Yamaha Website Page linked here may be a good start.

I suspect it will only get you a new one of the same thickness, though what you learn from installing it may enable you to make your own next time.

Your piano tech/tuner may also be able to help.

Try contacting local piano techs if they have felts they can sell you.

There are no local piano techs. I can't even get a decent price on getting my restored chickering from 1936!

@jmenz, I will check the site out or just call the warranty people.

just saw this, easy fix, i reckon you can fix that youself, just a thick felt damper. The purpose of this is to damper the sound. The chepest way is go to your local carpet shop and ask for "under felt" get some off cut - 5-10$ at the most, you ask for thicker/dense ones... And I am sure you can just cut and copy using the original felt length that was installed on the leaver. i hope this is another option for you.

here you go https://www.andersens.com.au/main-menu/our-products/carpet-underlay a bit more understanding what  ;)is felt is made out of.

I'd like to just order piano felt, though! I don't want stuff coated in fiberglass or something weird.

I had to replace a section of this felt on my Kawai upright.  I bought felt at a local sewing supply shop. Simple and inexpensive.
